Mackenson Pierre, a doctor, treats Marie Michelle Joseph's 9-month-old baby Myleisha Moliere at the Centre Hospitalier de Fontaine, July 27.
After being turned away from Haiti's only general hospital, her daughter Myleisha was finally accepted at Fontaine Hospital - in an area the rest of her family considers too unsafe to visit.
"I'm the only one by her side," the 27-year-old mother said.
Myleisha's twin brother died just a week after he was born and Joseph is miles away from her relatively well-to-do area of the capital.
